BLOOD'S VOICE REVIEW

Blood’s Voice Review

Anya Millar had no memory of her life or an instruction manual on how to navigate the insane world of humans, biting, and reality. Instead, Anya has had to learn to navigate the world of love, life, and sanity while avoiding those that would see her dead or enslaved.

This is the ongoing journey of Anya and Nicholas, human loving vampires and the human they love, Declán. What makes it all more complicated is that they are abominations in their own world and Declán is a natural born vampire hunter called a Guardian.

Anya must come to terms with who she is and her missing past, Nicholas must win back the object of his eternal love while dealing with new cravings in his silent heart, and Declán must learn to destroy the very creatures that he has unequivocally given his heart and blood.

MY THOUGHTS ON THE BOOK

First of all, I had a little trouble getting into the book as some of the writing felt very formal. Once I got used to the writing style, it kept my attention and a beautiful tale of romance and redemption unfolded. Anya is a vampire who has special abilities that set her apart from the average vampire. An insatiable desire to protect humans emerges through the entire book as well as her blooming romance with Declan, her human love, and Nicholas her vampire love.

Some of the story is hard to follow and I feel some more back story of Anya is needed and hopefully will show up in the future books. One question is why she is so drawn to Declan. Is it love at first sight or something more? You never really find out in the book. But other than that, the romance building up between the two is extraordinary.

I like the issues of LGBT that are brought up in the story and felt they were just enough of a sample of that lifestyle to not offend close minded individuals. It was very realistic and I enjoyed reading more about it. There is a ménage de trois alluded to in the book so some people may be a bit uncomfortable with that part of the story. From my point of view, it was very well written and only enhanced the book.

I give this a 4 fairy review as it was a very romantic story with paranormal elements that drew you in with the intricate plot.

Welcome Travelers

Hello, come inside and pull up a beanbag chair, relax and have some tea. This blog is for my book reviews or general book stuff. Currently, I'm starting on the road to book reviewing and also working on my first urban fantasy. Thanks for joining me.

About Me

Hello everyone:) I'm a freelance book reviewer and webmaster of my blog Earth's Book Nook. I also am an aspiring writer working on my first fantasy novel. I currently follow and practice a mixture of Norse/Celtic/Native American traditions with a strong emphasis on the Nordic Pantheon. Currently, I'm called to do Ancestor work working closely the Norse Pantheon as that is one branch of my ancestral line.The other branch I suspect has some aspects of Druidism but that hasn't been confirmed yet. I'm also starting Runic work, spirit taught by Odin and the spirits of the Rune. I am also known as Earth to my close friends and family because of my spiritual path. I'm quite witty when I feel in the mood and I'm a great listener.
